Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the force detection device described in Patent Document 1, the first plate and the second plate are entirely made of stainless steel, and since stainless steel has a small coefficient of linear expansion and a relatively high density on the contrary, there is a problem that it is heavy.
[0010] In addition, since it is necessary to maintain high detection accuracy of the force detection device, in order to reduce weight, as the material constituting the first plate and the material constituting the second plate, it is not possible to select only materials with low density.
[0011] In addition, in the force sensor described in Patent Document 2, since the wiring is drawn out from the outer peripheral portion of the force sensor, when the arm moves, pulling, bending, twisting, etc. occur in the wiring, thereby exerting unnecessary stress on the force sensor. force
As a result, there is a problem that an error occurs with respect to the force originally intended to be detected, and the detection accuracy decreases.

Abstract

The invention provides a force detection device and a robot. To obtain a force detection device and a robot light in weight and having excellent detection accuracy, The force detection device includes a first member, a second member joined to the first member, and a piezoelectric element joined to the second member. A material forming the first member is different from a material forming the second member. The first member is formed in a plate shape. The piezoelectric element and the second member are disposed at an end portion of the first member. A through-hole is formed in the center portion of the first member.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a force detection device and a robot. Background technique [0002] In recent years, industrial robots have been gradually introduced into production facilities such as factories for the purpose of improving production efficiency. This type of industrial robot is equipped with: an arm that can be driven with respect to one axis or multiple axes; and an end effector such as a hand attached to the end of the arm, a component inspection tool, or a component transfer tool, and can perform assembly of components. Parts manufacturing operations, parts handling operations, parts handling operations, and parts inspection operations, etc. [0003] In such an industrial robot, a force detection device (force sensor) is provided between the arm and the end effector. Since the force detection device is provided at the distal end of the arm, the weight of the force detection device occupies a part of the weight (capable load) that the rob...
